[edit] Commons pics
Hi from Adrian! It's an interesting question whether I need to have pity on the 56K people (I've got 2 megabit broadband from TeleWest which is eighteen times quicker than 56K). My pics straight off the camera are about 800K but I find little effect on the quality of the pic if I compress them down in Photoshop to between 300K and 350K so I'll carry on doing that.
On the subject of Commons upload , I'll do a trial. I'll upload my next five pics (all of Nissan cars) onto it and then I'll see how well it displays my image info and my copyright notice. If the user has to click on something like "Click here to see Image Information" then I probably won't do it. If I find I can still have my image info below the pic (as on en) then I will. I'll let you know - Adrian Pingstone 22:01, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Fun Fun Fun. By default the commons copyright notice isn't displayed on en:, but you can edit the page on EN to display it yourself. An example is on Image:Protest 0008.JPG - the image is on commons but I've inserted the copyright notice onto en manually. In future versions hacks like that probably won't be needed, but for now it's a fair enough workaround. --BesigedB (talk) 22:17, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Alls well
Hi! from Adrian. Apology happily accepted. If you don't object I'll remove all the relevant talk stuff, future generations don't need to read it! Best Wishes - Adrian Pingstone 10:00, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Galleries
Hi, just stopping to point out that on at least one occasion when converting the Wikipedia:List of images you've deleted the text from the top of the page, including the {{image}} tag! Joe D (t) 19:07, 24 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Oh dear. I guess it's force of habit when doing big edits -> copy paste to notepad and then ctrl+a back in. I'll be more attentive next time! --BesigedB (talk) 20:57, 24 Feb 2005 (UTC)
[edit] MTR Map
I reverted originally because it displays really poorly on my browser! I'm using Safarai, and for some reason on the Airport Express link, it skips a line. It looks really awful, but I suppose I can get over it. Do you have any ideas why that might be? I would also prefer the map to be the original size, personally. Páll 21:45, 17 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Heh, that won't do! I'll try another format and see how it looks. --BesigedB (talk) 22:05, 17 Mar 2005 (UTC)
[edit] quicklink
I am still puzzled by the idea of a quicklink. Where is this magical box into which one can type m Edinburgh and get a map? But you did point out that using templates is the important thing and rather than having a category (Articles with OSGB36 coordinates) so I have reversed my vote. -- RHaworth 13:08, 2005 Apr 21 (UTC)
- In Mozilla and Firefox you can set a bookmark to have an alias, so that when you type it in the URL bar you get a url. This alias can also have a parameter passed, so you can perform searches and the like. BesigedB (talk) 16:35, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Category:UK Wikipedians
Hi, just to let you know that the list of UK participants at the UK notice board was getting rather long, so I have replaced it with the above category which I have added to your user page. -- Francs2000 | Talk

[edit] your "wiki" simcity
On the topic of complete irrelevance, your SimCity lacks an airport, which can bring additional commercial services to your city, as well as higher tax revenues and possibly crime. --Ted 03:20, August 12, 2005 (UTC) (reply on my talk page if you plan on responding)
- If you are referring to the police chopper that hovers over the corner of either an airport, the University, country club, et cetera, I haven't quite figured that out. I know the advisor screams at you ("This locale is swarming with criminal activity. Build a police station now!"), and despite building a police station right next to it, the chopper doesn't cease. Oh well, it's a fun game. --Ted 01:43, August 13, 2005 (UTC)
